Internet Scale Services Checklist

A checklist for designing and developing internet scale services, inspired by James Hamilton's 2007 paper "On Desgining and Deploying Internet-Scale Services."

• http://mvdirona.com/jrh/talksandpapers/jamesrh_lisa.pdf

Basic tenets

• Does the design expect failures to happen regularly and handle them gracefully?
• Have we kept things as simple as possible?

Category theory jargon cheat sheet

A primer/refresher on the category theory concepts that most commonly crop up in conversations about Scala or FP. (Because it's embarassing when I forget this stuff!)

I'll be assuming Scalaz imports in code samples, and some of the code may be pseudo-Scala.

Functor

A functor is something that supports map.

# PowerView's last major overhaul is detailed here: http://www.harmj0y.net/blog/powershell/make-powerview-great-again/
#   tricks for the 'old' PowerView are at https://gist.github.com/HarmJ0y/3328d954607d71362e3c

# the most up-to-date version of PowerView will always be in the dev branch of PowerSploit:
#   https://github.com/PowerShellMafia/PowerSploit/blob/dev/Recon/PowerView.ps1

# New function naming schema:
#   Verbs:
#       Get : retrieve full raw data sets
#       Find : ‘find’ specific data entries in a data set
